    Hi,

    In this email "System images now the recommended way to deploy and 
update Ubuntu Touch", from Stéphane Graber in 05/09/2013 :
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg04004.html
it was said :
"...announce that the *system images are now the recommended way*...
Those new images *are read-only* except for a few selected files and for
the user profile and data, this is a base requirement for the delta
updates to work properly.

However *if the work you're doing requires installation of extra**
**non-click packages, such as developing on your device using the SDK*, you
have two options:

 1) *Stick to the current flipped images which* *we'll continue to 
generate**
**    for the foreseeable future*.

 2) Use the experimental writable flag by doing touch
    /userdata/.writable_image and rebooting your device."

    So I ask the Ubuntu Touch community : aren't cdimage-touch images 
not maintained anymore ? 2 months after the cited email ? Please clarify.

        Regards,

        Roberto
